Edward Charles Prescott (9 December 1880 – 21 June 1919) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
The son of Charles Edward Prescott, and Minnie Prescott, née Keily,[2] [3] Edward Charles Prescott was born in Melbourne on 9 December 1880.
He played for Williamstown Football Club in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) in 1902 and 1903.
In June 1904 the VFA permit committee refused to grant Prescott a clearance to transfer from Williamstown to North Melbourne (which at the time, was also a VFA club);[4] however, several weeks later it granted Prescott a clearance to play with Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
In his single season with Carlton (1904), he played in 11 games and kicked 9 goals, and his last match was in the 1904 Grand Final against Fitzroy on 17 September 1904, in which he kicked one of Carlton's five goals (Carlton lost to Fitzroy: 5.7 (37) to 9.7 (61)).
He died at South Melbourne, Victoria on 21 June 1919.[5]
